Brought into the U.S.
barely lived a life
only two years old
Didn't have a voice
but now I pay the price
Don't see half my family
but I study every night

All I hear are lies
All I want is happinness
All I get is hatred
Untames and Untainted

Hundreds maybe thousandsThey all stand there strandedNo workNo jobNo school
America is,
Land of the free,
Home of the brave.
Speak up America!
Break down the cultural barriers that have held us so long,
Embrace your brothers and sisters.
